social-ISSUE-30: Deprecate "actor" in favor of "attributedTo" http://www.w3.org/Social/track/issues/30 Raised by: James Snell On product: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-socialweb/2015Mar/0170.html In the most recent published working draft, the "author" property was replaced by a more generalized "attributedTo" property. "author" is still in there but is listed among the deprecated AS 1.0 terms. The "actor" property on Activities is currently defined as a sub-property of "attributedTo". Moving forward, there's likely very little value in having the separate "actor" property. We can simplify and consolidate down to just using "attributedTo". "actor" would be moved into the deprecated set for backwards compatibility. So instead of: { "@type": "Like", "actor": "http://joe.example.org", "object": "http://example.org/posts/1" } It would be: { "@type": "Like", "attributedTo": "http://joe.example.org", "object": "http://example.org/posts/1" } Note: this proposal does not ADD anything to the vocabulary, it removes. Which is a good thing.
